does the ebuild for gnome-system-monitor-2.0.4-r1 contain the line 'MAKEOPTS="-j1"' ?

[Comment 2 Francisco León 2003-02-10 10:39:17 UTC]

Yeah it does, i commented it out and now it compiles!
Patch included

[Comment 3 Francisco León 2003-02-10 10:40:07 UTC]

Created attachment 8126 [details, diff]
Removes MAKEOPTS from the ebuild

[Comment 4 Lars Hoss 2003-02-12 07:43:31 UTC]

The latest ebuild does still have the MAKEOPTS line. After removing this line I was able to compile gnome-system-monitor.

[Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) 2003-02-12 08:19:15 UTC]

yeah thats pretty weird huh, the line is ther to ensure that it compiles ( i had reports where it didn't without it) and it shouldn't break builds anyway.

[Comment 6 Julian Urquijo 2003-02-12 14:13:47 UTC]

had same issue. removing makeopts -j DID NOT fix it in my case. backing off on compiler optimizations in /etc/make.conf (to -O3 -pipe) DID enable me to compile. 

[Comment 7 Brian Bilbrey 2003-02-16 10:44:59 UTC]

Data point:  
 
On my Dual Athlon box, in /etc/make.conf: 
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-mp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" 
MAKEOPTS="-j3" 
 
Commenting out the MAKEOPTS="-j1" at the tail of 
gnome-system-monitor-2.0.4-r1.ebuild allowed the build to complete 
successfully. 

[Comment 8 Felipe Ghellar 2003-02-18 17:23:59 UTC]

What fixed it to me was to remove -fstrict-aliasing from CFLAGS.

[Comment 9 foser (RETIRED) 2003-02-18 18:21:54 UTC]

Well if you get the error on top here, it seems only to have todo with the order in which things are compiled. -j1 should imo eliminate all possible failures, but it doesn't look that way. I have no idea why some ppl seem to have to disable that to have it compile.

[Comment 10 foser (RETIRED) 2003-02-19 14:53:52 UTC]

what was exactly the output everyone of you was getting i wonder.

[Comment 11 foser (RETIRED) 2003-02-19 15:06:55 UTC]

i have disabled the patch for now, but i would like to get it back in so please respond to my previous request. Do whatever you need to recreate the problem :)

[Comment 12 foser (RETIRED) 2003-03-03 19:48:45 UTC]

noone ?

[Comment 13 Felipe Ghellar 2003-03-03 19:55:02 UTC]

I recompiled the entire system, and this time -fstrict-aliasing did not cause any problems. I don't know what it could be now...

[Comment 14 foser (RETIRED) 2003-04-03 17:14:43 UTC]

mm to avoid problems ill leave the patch disabled.. most ppl will now have to wait for gnome2.4 to enjoy this gimmick ;)
